What is a hotlist?

A hotlist is a list of frequently used Web locations and URL's. It can be also used as a much simpler version of a WebQuest.

As an educator using hotlists can be a great way to guide your students into finding the information on safe and specified websites that you have pre-selected for them. From this you can have them answer questions, complete a project or many, many other things.

Below there will be a functional example of a hotlist that I have created for you. The links below are to sites that have pre-made hotlists for you to use or to see how they are put together.
